13: Moroni 6:8
But as oft as they repented and sought forgiveness, with real intent, they were
forgiven.
God doesn’t need me to say that I’m worthless in order to
receive forgiveness. He can hardly be excited about my telling Him that I am
horrible: after all, He made me. He gave me my weaknesses, so it’s no surprise to
him that I mess up. But that doesn’t mean that everything I do is right. I
remember leading a class once on values: one of the people in the class said
she didn’t know what a value was, and I felt inspired to define it as something
other than what you are that you think is right. Repentance is about me
admitting that I’m not perfect, despite my tendency to assume that I am. Repentance
is about trying, not about being perfect.
